Jani is a voracious reader and would spend her last dollar on a book - always fascinated that for the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through someone else's eyes.
Besides reading, her favorite 'thing' is traveling - she has traveled the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realization that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things. Her hobby - Scrapbooking - keeps her up till way after midnight and her usual subjects are her family and her travels.
Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people, about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness - arguably the most difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately desires (in her humble opinion).

OMG, Jani freaking Kay, I LOVE YOU!!!!! What a wonderful little Christmas present you have given us!!!! It was a fantastic surprise when I woke up this morning and saw this was available! I grabbed it immediately and read it in just a couple of hours! I laughed and I cried!!!! Thank you, again!!!
This was such a sweet and hot as hell story. There were moments where I had tears in my eyes. I loved all of the characters but especially Jade and Ryder. I need to read the others because I want to know how they came together. It's a must.
4.5 stars! Badass biker, Ryder and his Princess, Jade are back! This sexy, heartwarming novella continues from Unchain My Heart, but can be read as a standalone. Ryder continues to grow on me. Even Harrison is showing signs of redemption, but not quite yet.
Ryder needs to bring the Christmas spirit to the Scorpio Stinger MCs as they are still reeling from unexpected losses, especially Cobra. Ryder's suggestion was terrific, and I enjoyed Jade and Eva conspiring secretly to surprise Ryder and Harrison. Even Jade's parents got in on the action!
I usually refrain from MC series, but Jani has kept my interest growing in this one. The depth of the storyline, solid secondary characters, and the suspense and surprises have me hooked. This has erotic scenes at the beginning, which, after the second scene of it, I found myself skimming (thus the 4.5 rating).
And then there was the terrific ending. These bikers have proven to be so much better than the stereotype. I do recommend it. If you haven't read this series yet, you're missing out!
“Even the bad times with Jade were good, but the good times were what I breathed for.”
“Holy Mother of all good things. This man… I loved him so completely. Every corner of my heart belonged to him.”
“You are my home, Princess. The place I always want to be – the center of my universe.”
My Review:
A Biker Christmas Novella showcases the sensual and playful side of Jani Kay. It was an uplifting and welcome change in direction after the heavier and darker story line of Unchain My Heart, although I am truly enjoying all the stories in this series.
This Novella is deffently about the way back for Ryder & Jade after the loss of peanut .... the love that they continue to give to each other , you see the relationship between them , & you see Ryder bringing back the club to a whole or as close to without having Jamie with them...Cobra & Mia's book will be interesting & let's hope they can get through it as a couple & Get Jamie back......:-) Get One Clicking People
I don't usually post reviews on Novellas, but I just couldn't pass up spreading the word about this one. The Scorpio Stinger MC is one of my top 3 favorite MC series. And if you are a fan this is a MUST READ!! If you aren't a fan, you should be. This is the perfect christmas romance story "biker" style. LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jade & Ryder are a match made in heaven, this Novella is full of all the things I love in the Scorpio Stinger MC series. Lots of hot steamy moments, along with some heart melting moments and special surprises.
Loved reading about the whole MC gang getting together and making it an unforgettable Christmas for all.
Don't know why I waited until after Christmas to finish this....
Great catching up with the action, a few months since I read the last one and you know what it's like when you read so many series ,you do forget...well I do anyway
Ryder is as sexy as ever....still not feeling Harrison..
Absolutely loved this novella..... We catch up with Jade and Ryder, after losing "peanut" and Jamie being taken things at the roadhouse are starting to get all gloomy, so Ryder decides that as VP he needs to step up and get things back on track. More laughs and tears are had as these so called "scary mean bikers" work their way further into our hearts.
A fluffy (but HOT) lil' novella that dished out a couple of big, juicy Scorpio Stinger MC secrets! Can't wait to get my hands on the next book, Gods & Monsters, to see how they all play out!!
This was a very quick read and super sweet Christmas story. The best gift in life is family and that's exactly what brings this book together. Looking forward to the next in the series.
A Biker Christmas ~ Jani Kay (Scorpio Stinger MC) So Sweet
Sweet story but bittersweet. Love this series so much. We learn more about Jade's parents, see into the hearts of the tough bikers and a little into the heart of one tough Sp-ops cop. No spoilers here ladies you must read for yourselves. Again, thank you Jani Kay for sharing your characters and stories with us.
I will take Ryder anyway I can. Even if it is in the form of a novella. This was such a sweet novella. It definitely is giving you a refresher before the next book Gods & Monsters comes out. It also shows you a much softer side to Ryder. It gives you a completely different and freakier side to Jade & Harrison's parents. I remember being like OMG!! Hahahaha...
The Scorpio Stingers MC have never been in this kind of place before. First Ryder & Jade have lost Peanut. Both are still grieving for their little girl. Cobra & Mia still have no idea where their son Jamie is. They're beyond devastated. The club is still mourning Ratbag and trying to stay strong for their Brothers Cobra & Ryder and their Old Ladies.
Ryder decides that for Christmas let the MC do a bike run and donations for children and help the poor. While getting as much exposure on them. While they get Jamie's name & face out as much as possible. It's also his way of keeping Peanut memory alive for him & Jade.
Jade's family is more high class then the bikers. But, when Jade tells her mom everything she is shocked. We finally learn why her parent's are against bikes. Finally!! Then, we learn of other stuff that def turned me red just thinking of my parents telling me. Hahahaha!!! But, Jade, Eve & her mom start to plan a nice dinner for the guys after the MC run.
Harrison def starts to redeem himself in this short novella. Which I loved!! Ryder showed you a much, much softer gentler side to him. As well as his dirty, nasty freaky side. That'll never go away.
This bike run def brought the MC & Jade's family closer together. As well as a new MC Christmas tradition. It was such a cute book. And, an awesome refresher for me before continuing the series!!
A Biker Christmas is a novella of the Scorpio Stinger MC. Although you don't need to, I'd recommend reading the previous books in the story as it involves the same characters as in the full length books. Ryder and Jade have been through so much since we first met them. They've won and lost battles together in the short time they've been together and they are still feeling the hurt of the losses, especially the loss of their peanut. Ryder wants to bring some joy over the festive period and this time all the families are invited. Ryder manages to surprise me with his genuine kindness, love and loyalty despite everything he has lost. He is determined to make this Christmas special and will do anything to make that happen, even calling a truce with Harrison for awhile. Harrison shows a slightly different character in the novella as well. He is prepared to call a truce for a bit, but he is still the Harrison we got to know in the previous book. I loved that Jades family showed their support and had put their differences aside for their daughter. As a reader you no that's very hard for both families, but watching them all come together is magical. I loved all the surprises, love, magic and love that was in this novella. Ryder is perfect and created a day that was much needed for everybody. This was a great little festive read that will make you smile and cry. It's left me desperate for the next book as this is a great series with great characters. 4.5 Stars Sent from my iPad
Ryder Knox can do no wrong my eyes I fell for him when he first opened his mouth in Ryder the prequel book of the Scorpio Stinger Series and he has held me captive ever since, this foul mouthed biker is the absolute dichotomy of everything you would expect him to be because underneath his gloriously sexy, biker badass exterior hides a heart of pure gold, and I love him! Ryder and Jade have been through so much, they are still reeling from the loss of their baby but Ryder’s idea to have a biker ride to deliver toys to the local children’s homes and hospital is pure Ryder – other’s first. Underprivileged and disadvantaged kids are top of his list this Christmas and the other guys at the club are fully on board with the plan, hoping that it can lift them from the funk that has surrounded the club since Jamie disappeared. This perfectly pitched Christmas edition to the series, was completely on point, it was full of sentiment and goodwill. Ryder and Harrison manage to call a truce for the day and set their differences aside, Jade’s parents show that they are beginning to warm to the Ryder charm and are fully on board with the bike idea in more ways than Jade and Harrison had even thought possible. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and to hopefully learning more on the fate of Jamie and to seeing how my favourite delightful ruffian Ryder deals with the bombshell that was dropped on him at the end of this book – Oh Ryder!!!
~*~ Obsessed by books copy given in exchange for an honest review ~*~
What happens when Romeo and Juliet survive the plots of their families, living to see another day? Well we get to catch up with our favourite star crossed lovers who's paths have been difficult and rocky in this Christmas themed novella. Following on from the previous books...Jamie is missing snatched by a rival club. Ryder and Jade are still grieving their loss. Ratbags death has left a huge empty space that just can't be filled. The club is a dark place to be but Jade is Ryder's light and he wants to reignite her flame. Ryder sets into motion something that the whole club can get behind, turning a new page in the MC's history.
This novella continues the plot themes of the previous books, we catch up with Eva and Harrison, is there a hint of redemption for that man? Jades parents also get involved as well as all of the members of the MC. This is a perfect light hearted read, with the signature allure of the dark and twisted plot lines to be explored in future full length reads. Can the truce work between Harrison and Ryder, can their brotherly love extend far enough so that they can survive one another? Can Jade overcone her loss and look towards a brighter future? Has Mia got hidden secrets that may yet tear the club apart? So many questions!
I really enjoy this series, Ms. Kay has made it a point to let us readers know that while she may introduce other characters into this series, it will always focus and revolve around Jade and Ryder. Usually I get tired of reading more than one book about the same couple, I may do two but more than that...nope. Since there are other characters in the mix and their stories, this series is not so bad, it's actually quite good.
This book, unfortunately, was just too fucking mushy for me. I'm sorry but while I admire everything the club did for the needy children on Christmas, that was very admirable, the whole relationship with Jade and Ryder had me ready to puke. I enjoy romance, I enjoy love, I enjoy tenderness and all that jazz but these two freaks took all of that to the next level in this book. I can forgive Jade, somewhat, because she's a female and we tend to over dramatize everything, but Ryder was just a straight up pussy in this book. I still loved their characters, I think they are great together and they've been through so much in such a short amount of time, this novella was just over the top with the mushiness...
Doesn't mean I will not be picking up book three because that in fact is the next book I will be reading...I'm sorry but this novella just didn't do it for me...too sickeningly extra...ugh!
A Biker Christmas: A Scorpio Stinger MC Novella by Jani Kay
A GOOD READ FROM A GREAT SERIES AND AUTHOR!
I LOVE Jani Kay’s Books!!! This Novella’s release was not announced until right before Christmas, and I happily spent part of my Christmas Eve reading it.
Why do I love Jani Kay’s writing so much? None of her characters are weak, but at the same time they are vulnerable. Ryder, the male lead in this book and the series to date, is a dirty talking biker, who was raised by an MC. Despite his gruff talk, underneath he has a heart of gold for the things that he loves, his girlfriend Jade, his brothers from the MC, and their children.
Jade, the female lead is a tough lady just like her man. She finds the strength to get over a miscarriage, and the strength to help organize a biker ride to raise money for local charities. Even though Jade was raised with every advantage, she has the courage to go after what she wants, and not back down to her family when they disagree with her choices.
Without giving any spoilers, several things that I was hoping for after the last book in the series, take place in this book. This book stays true to the story, and just makes you more eagerly await the next installment.
4.5* for this awesome holiday novella! This was such a perfect, short, sweet, hot, novella, full of all the feels! And just about ever emotion you can imagine, packed into a quick couple of hour read. I love the Scorpio Stinger MC, Ryder is the perfect biker bbf, he loves his woman...no question about that!!! A Biker Christmas had everything you could want in a Christmas story, . Ryder and Jade plan a ride for Christmas Day, to bring attention to underprivledged children, and to hopefully find something about Jamie They even get their families involved, Ryder and Harrison put their animosity aside for this one special day. Jade's parents even get in on the action, Jade finding out a little more about her parents than she kind of bargained for! :~) It's funny to label a mc books as "ALL.THE.FEELS." but this one really had it all...it really made me stop and think, about what the Christmas season is really all about. Jani definitely hit it out of the ballpark with this one! Can't wait for the next installment in this series!
This short novella is set soon after Unchain my Heart and captures the Christmas spirit perfectly. Ryder and Jade are still healing after losing their child by miscarriage due to a fall she took during an argument with her brother Harrison. Her brother is genuinely sorry for his actions that day and is trying his best to come around to Jade and Ryder’s relationship. Her parents are also coming around to their engagement, her mum and dad have a few childhood surprises for Jade to discover to see why her mum truly thinks Ryder is perfect for her.
Mia and Cobra’s little boy, Jamie, is still missing, which has a profound effect on the entire club, but the wear and tear on their relationship is rough to see and Ryder is trying his best to ensure things don't fall apart whilst making decisions of his own about the clubs future.
The festive time is when family should come together and celebrate. Some families, like this MC, like to be the givers and do charity which in turn can be the greatest gift to your soul and ensure you spread the happiness and joy with gifts that just can't be bought.... Especially for Ryder and Jade.
** Provided on behalf of the author for an honest review **
We meet back with Ryder and Jade after the terrible turn of events with the loss of their baby girl “Peanut” and the kidnapping of Jamie from the club house.
Ryder and Jade want to do something special for Christmas to remember “Peanut ” and to spread the word out about Jamie to see if there is anyone that knows his whereabouts.
Jade believes that this could bring their family together even if it’s just for the spirit of Christmas.
Will Ryder and Jade be able to get over the loss of Peanut? Will Jamie be found? Who has taken Jamie and why?
Ryder believes that the event will help bring his “Brothers” back together and make them start working as a team once again. Ryder will do whatever he can to keep the Club going. Ryder and Jade’s love for each other and the passion they have is stronger than ever.
Will they all be able to get along?
To find out the answers you need to keep reading.
We found this yet another great read Jani Kay. It keeps you guessing and wanting to read more.
What a great way to spend Christmas... with Ryder and Jade!! You've done it yet again Jani. ^5
It was great to have Ryder step up and get them all off there arses after being in such a slump after Jamie being kidnapped, and loosing Peanut. I loved that he was able to get them all together and do the toy ride (totally shocked me with her parents in there too...), like so many bikers really do. I love that our badass biker Ryder could put aside everything and ride beside Jades brother for such a great cause.
OMG and the lil surprise the lady at that center gave Jade... :X I'm biting my tongue so I don't give away any good stuff!!! LoL I can't wait for all you have planned for us in 2015!! :)
If you haven't read Jani Kay's Scorpio Stingers MC books you'll want to get your hands on them! A Biker Christmas was a great Christmas novella to go along with the others. :) (grab "A Duet" (has the pre and 1st book), and "Unchain My Heart" book 2, you'll fall in love with Ryder and Jade and all the crew!!)
A Biker Christmas (Scorpio Stinger MC #2.5) By: Jani Kay 5/5 stars
Ryder & Jade are still healing after losing their child by miscarriage after a fall she took during an argument with her ultra-cop brother, Harrison. Her brother is genuinely sorry for his actions that day and is trying his best to come around to Jade & Ryder’s relationship. Her parents are also coming around to their engagement.
Mia & Cobra’s little boy, Jamie, is still missing, which has a profound effect on the entire club, but the wear and tear on their relationship is rough to see. But I feelings are raw & honest. And how work to overcome the problems while trying to find Jamie.
But, Christmastime is a time for family to come together and celebrate. Some families like to be the givers and do charity which in turn can be the greatest gift to your soul.
I love this series. I love Ryder & Jade, Harrison & Eva and Cobra & Mia. Looking forward to the next book, which is Cobra & Mia’s story.
Copy of this book was provided by the author in return for an honest review.
We're back with the guys of Scorpio Stinger MC and we get to celebrate Christmas with them. This year Jade and her family are included as well.
I enjoyed this novella which keeps the characters true to how they have been portrayed in the previous books, but have been developed a little further for us to see their compassionate side and how important family is, and should be.
This novella is a quick, steamy, sweet and sexy read.
It can be read on its own as an introduction to this band of brothers and their ladies, but I feel it would be more beneficial to have already read the previous book in the series to have a better understanding of the characters, their backgrounds and their motives.
If you like sexy biker guys then I recommend this to you!
Check out my review for books #0.5-#1 here. Check out my review for book #2 here.
This novella was truly beautiful. i am not sure if it is truly necessary to read but once i get attach to a story and characters, i always want to read as much as i can about them. truly a beautiful and heartwarming book. I cannot wait to see what becomes of the club further down the line.
Ryder is truly growing into an honest and respectable man in my eyes. He is still very much the bad ass biker but the more we are exposed to their story the more we see a different side of Ryder- the loving, caring, and smart side of him. And i truly think that it is Jade's doing. He became a good man with his club but Jade made him see things that his brothers could never have done. All it takes is the love of a woman.
Every time I read one of the books in this series, I want to find my own bad ass biker who has a heart of gold. Ryder would do anything . . . and I mean anything to make sure that Jade is safe and happy. He tries to weight both his old life (the biker life) with the new life that he is living with Jade, and even Eva. When he is faced with making a decision you see his thought process weighting both sides and how the decision with effect both of the worlds. He has come to a gentleman's agreement with Harrison to keep both Jade and Eva happy, even though he is wary. Jani Kay is definitely on my list of authors that I would like to have autographed books from. I cannot wait for the next installments of the series to be out in 2015 so we can see how Ryder and Jade move forward and continuing to learn more about the other couples that we have met along the way.
Yes I know...it's way past Christmas but I completely forgot I had this novella and decided to read it real quick! It's pretty much a Christmas miracle...people come together to celebrate Christmas and try to spread some holiday cheer to those less fortunate...while remembering "Peanut" and putting the feelers out to try to find Jamie (who was taken in the last book). Jade and Ryder's relationship hits a new high with family finally coming around and Harrison and Jade might be a reason to mend fences between the two alpha-males. It was a sweet and steamy holiday treat that left us with more questions yet to be answered about Mia and Jamie and what the future might hold for everyone! A surprise at the end will hopefully be revealed in the next book as well!
